Located at 3539 E Foothill Blvd, Pasadena, CA 91107, Tomikawa Japanese Restaurant operates as a chinese buffet serving Pasadena in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it. Google also lists it under sushi restaurant, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open 11:30 am–10 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Tomikawa Japanese Restaurant at (626) 995-9191; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

A great spot for dinner! My husband and I traveled from out of town and wanted to enjoy an ayce sushi spot nearby. Glad we found this place. Portions are big, worth the money. Fish was fresh. Izakaya selections were vast and cooked well. Service was great and attentive all around. Shout out to Eli for taking care of us.

Really great, amazing quality for AYCE sushi. Nigiri was well proportioned, season well with nice cuts of fish. The rolls are HUGE and I prefer the smaller hand rolls. The fried items were fresh and just out of the fryer. This is going to be a regular lunch splurge spot.

Parking can be packed in front (short walking distance) but the back can be less but abit of walking. The place is chic and clean cut. Clean and spacious, with one big sushi bar that you can see how the foods prep. The seating area are big , about 2/3 of the restaurant. You can either do all you can eat (AYCE) or à la cart. Service is nice and attentive by all staff. Foods are good and fresh. Well presented. Overall it was a great fulled dinner with great service.

Came here for lunch with two of my buddies right when they opened at 11:30am on a Tuesday. Parking is easy since it’s a shared lot with Panera Bread, and there was plenty of space. At first, service was solid. Jazz was our server and since it wasn’t busy yet, she was attentive and checked in on us. But about 30 minutes in, the restaurant filled up fast, and it looked like there were only about 3 servers for the whole place. After that, service really slowed down—we had to flag people down for water refills and even stood near the front just to pay our bill. Now for the food. Overall, the fish tasted fresh, but the tuna was surprisingly lacking flavor. Our favorites were the salmon nigiri and the salmon carpaccio—both were really good. The spicy tuna crispy rice was a bit of a letdown since the rice was harder than expected. On the other hand, the appetizers were a highlight. The jalapeño poppers and baked green mussels were solid, and the garlic chili edamame was drenched in a really flavorful sauce. The agadashi tofu was a pleasant surprise—crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the sauce had a nice balance of sweet, salty, and tangy. We also enjoyed the shrimp and vegetable t

Had the premium AYCE. Everything was good except the salmon skin salad. They use a good amount of sauce on most items. They give big chunks of fish in the nigiri, but they give you a good amount of rice with it. The staff were efficient. The food came out pretty fast. I knocked out when I got home, and slept for a long, long time. What was in the sauce/food? lol Plenty of free lot parking.
